Isn't perl6 assuming the source file is in UTF-8 unless explicitly specified
differently?
Also it's quite interesting how often was Latin-1 and UTF-8 used in the
discussion interchangeably;
"every source is Latin-1" is marginally better than "every source is ASCII",
but we can do better.
As for keyboard layouts: I don't think there is Yen sign on US keyboard
either.
I also use Slovak layout, which does not have backtick (only grave accent)
and all sigils but % are written with AltGr. So what. I got used to it.
On the other hand, there is ¤ sign. (That's U+00A4 Currency Sign -- hey, it
looks like little o. If ¢ is maimed c for class, then ¤ may be o for object.
Or universal-unspecified-i-dont-care-sigil.)

P.S. this e-mail should be sent in UTF-8.
